Globalization and cultural diversity:

Not every country has the same access to the internet and technology
how can we make it equal??
some countries do not want their people to see things on the internet, therefore the block the websites is that right or wrong???

IB Definition:


Globalization means the diminishing importance of geographical, political, economic and cultural
boundaries. IT has played a major role in reducing these boundaries. For example, any dramatic event
anywhere in the world can be broadcast almost instantly by television or on the internet. However, the new
“global village” may lead to the extinction of minority languages.
